A 6-year-old 12 kg male neutered mixed breed dog presented in lateral recumbency with dysphoria and vocalization following a self-inflicted fork impalement injury. Computed tomography (CT) was performed which showed penetrating wound through the right orbit, into calvarium, brain parenchyma. The hospitalized supportive care, sedatives, analgesia, antiepileptics, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics...

Abstract Date Presented 04/20/2023 This study explored drug and alcohol use among people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in both rural urban areas. Study findings suggest that TBI from families reporting unmet needs engaged more frequent substance use. Primary Author Speaker: Steven Wheeler Additional Authors Speakers: Amanda Acord-Vira

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of corpus callosum injury (CCI) in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) using brain MRI. We also performed a review of the clinical characteristics associated with this injury. METHODS A total of 356 patients in the study were diagnosed with TBI, with 94 patients classified as having mild TBI. We included patients with mild TBI for further eva...

BACKGROUND Axonal injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI) may cause impaired sensory integration. We aim to determine the effects of childhood TBI on visual integration in relation to general neurocognitive functioning. METHODS We compared children aged 6-13 diagnosed with TBI (n = 103; M = 1.7 years post-injury) to children with traumatic control (TC) injury (n = 44). Three TBI severity gr...

OF DISSERTATION POST-TRAUMATIC SLEEP FOLLOWING DIFFUSE TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY By Rachel Kathleen Rowe Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability throughout the world with few pharmacological treatments available for individuals who suffer from neurological morbidities associated with TBI. Cellular and molecular pathological processes initiated at the time of injury de...

brain edema plays an important role in secondary tissue damage following traumatic brain injury (tbi) but the underlying mechanisms are not entirely elucidated. the g protein coupled receptor fm-4 and its ligands, neuromedin s (nms) and neuromedin u (nmu), are expressed in diverse brain areas, and have a variety of roles in nociception, inflammation, and stress but their probable changes after ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a pathologically heterogeneous disease affecting people of all ages. The highest incidence of TBI occurs in young people and the average age is 30 to 40 years. Injury grading may range from mild with a low frequency (1 per 100) of life-threatening intracranial hematoma that needs immediate neurosurgical operation and very low mortality (1 per 1,000) to severe wit...

Little is known about brain injury in concomitant mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) following traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). In this study, we reported on a male patient with memory impairment who showed injury of the Papez circuit following TSCI and concomitant mild TBI. A 59-year-old male underwent posterolateral fusion on T11–L2 due to an L1 burst fracture after falling from a height o...

W THANK the editors for the opportunity to provide our viewpoint on traumatic brain injury (TBI) screening by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD) in response to the article “Screening for a Remote History of Mild TBI: When a Good Idea is Bad” by Drs Vanderploeg and Belanger in this issue. VA implemented a mandatory screen for possible TBI in April 2007 for al...

Background & Aim: Traumatic brain injury is one of the main causes of death and disability. The aim of this study is to systematically review the articles which assessed some serum factors of traumatic brain injury patients in relation to their outcomes. Methods & Materials/Patients: Databases were searched for relevant publications from 2005 to 2014. Selection criteria were:Studies which ev...
